The joys of life are tiny things; •
A gland'', a loving smile,
A word in tones of kindness
From lips that know no guile,
Are of the sweetest pleasures
. We find along earth's way— •
The sunniest beam that brightens up
Time's heavy, darksome day.
'The cloudlessmeeks of happiness
We picture in our youth,
Are visions,from enchanted realms—
They lure us on, and oft we slight
The pearls that gleam each day,
'Till late we find life's treasure rare,
Tinpezed, has passed away.
Then let us never scorn these gems,
But gather them with care,
And hoard them up with miser grasp
To gladden days less fair ;
When time's bright sun to twilight hours
For us is sinking down;
When hope,can only catch the rays
That gild a heavenly crown.

Mr. Beecher at Home.
A Congregational minister from Canada
writes to one of the Canadian papers an in
teresting account of a visit recently made
by him to. the country home of Mr. Beecher,
near Peekskill, on the Hudson. Before go
ing to the dinner-table, the subject of Ameri
can politics bad been discussed between Mr.
Beecher and his guest, and the conversation
was_resumed: as soon as grace had been
said, with an interest which bid fair to
supersede the ordinarily important act of
dining.____
'The soup despatched, it was some time
before enough of the joint was carved to

negro suffrage question, universal suffrage
in the abstract, female suffrage, the foreign
influence in American polities and prospects
of the Presidential campaign, were dilated
on, and what.was et id so absorbed me that I
couldn't find out how the stuffed veal tasted
or the egg-plant—a novelty to me; didn't
know whether I had eaten enough or too

As I listened it seemed to me that thoughts,
illustrations, and phrases quite equal to any=
thing I had heard from his lips in the pulpit
or read from his pen, dropped from him in
conversation
"Some interesting facts about Plymouth
church came out in the course of this eon•
vorsation. I asked if it was true the build
mg was about to be enlarged ? Mr. Beecher
said 'No: 'Do you then intend to build
anew ?' I inquired. 'No,' said he, 'the pre

and the high prices they fetch, but it speed.

just as the war broke out, and bad we done
so it would have been a wise movement; but
everything was so uncertain, and the future
looked so dark, that the Ailing fell through.
My people feel, and so do I, that I am not
so young as I once was, and if I should drop
off, a larger building. would not be wanted.
We can seat two thousand five hundred, and
manage to squeeze in three thousand as it
is.' I reminded him that he was compara
tively young, and that his father before him
lived to a groat ago; and that he might have
many years of effective labor before him yet,
'Yes,' lie said, 'but my father, though a hard

to, or as it is generally supposed that I do.
I have been in Brooklyn nineteen years,
and never in all that time have I wet a

here, and spending my summer vacation
here, I know no relaxation. The strain .on

Curiosities - of Croation.
--- The whole universe is a thought, and that
thought is the thought of God. The foun
dation of all things is intelligent force and
goodness; these are found aetieg in every
department of nature; in. rooks, fluids,
grass, animated bodies, and everything that
has a 'being. The same expression exists

acknowledge a Lawgiver; a design, hence a
Designer. It we examine the crystal, we
find it is the result of force. We may de
stroy its organization, but we can never de
stroy the force that gave it -that organiza
tion. The world invisible is the most sub
stantial of all. We can continuo to take up
plants. The seed always. proclaims the tree
and the fruit; even the leaves conform to
the impress of the original seed. No seed
will transfer its fruit to another kind; each
bears fruit- to its own. The pear•tree does
not grow from the seed of the apple, nor is
The microscope discovers matters until it
dwindles almost to nothing; and we find util
ity in everything. All this is not the result
of chance, but shows a beautiful Lawgiver.
Force is the only substantial thing found in
nature. It lies in its fossil state in the coal.
When coal is put in the furnace of the en
gine, it generates steam, but it is o'n'ly the
forth of the sunshine which came from heav
en, millions of years ago. The same is the
ease with gas; it is the same light that was
absorbed ages ago By the power of chem
istry we extract and use it again. Force and
matter can never be destroyed. In force we
find the infinite power of the goodness of the
Almighty.
On the leaf of trio maple we find the buds
are exactly opposite each other; and so in
pairs, one above the other, along the oatire
stem. In others they differ ;- in going round
the stem once, we will find two, three, and
so on -up, which will be illustrated by num
bers.

The form which organize our own bodies is
imponderable and' invisible, surrounded by
matter.
The sun is a mass of matter in a
_highly_
expanded condition. Sometimes
_the_ep_ots_
- on the sift - face go out and after a *bile re
appear. Time spots are breaks in the vol
ume of gas surrounding it.. Some of them
are so large that three worlds like ours could
pass abreast through them, and yet leave
24,000 miles to spare.
Our sunshine is caused by the ' reflection

There ls no doubt but that the sun is a mass
of liquid fire. The time will come when it
will burn out, and then our solar system will
also go out.
The fixed stars are other sung constantly j

The crust of tho earth was made by liquid

highest mountains are the newest. The
Himalaya mountains are a good example.
LIVING BY RULE.—Liviag by rule, as a
Medo Persian law, inflexible, is very unwise,
especially if a person is in reasonable health.
Our modes of life must be adapted to our age,
our occupation, and the peculiarities of our
constitution - . There are certain general prin
ciples which are applicable to all. Every man
should be regular in his habits of, eating—
should have all the sound sleep which nature
will take—should be in the open air an hour
or two every day, when practicable, and
should have a pleasurable and encouragingly
remunerative occupation, which keeps him a
little pushed, and they are the happiest who
are in this last category _ ; _ at the same time,
if a man accustoms himself to•go, to bed at
nine o'clock, ho need not break, his nook or
get into a stew if circumstances occur to
keep him up an hour or two, later 'now and
then, and so with eating, exorcise, and many
other things. No one ought to make him
self a galley slave to any observance; occa
sional deviations from all habits aro actually
beneficial; they impart a pliability to the
constitution, give it a greaterrange of health

not ready at the instant. Deliver us from

OLD. MAlDS.—Never be afraid of becom.
ing an old maid, fair reader. An old maid
is far more honorable than .a heartless wife,
and-single blesspdness is greatly, superior in
point of, happiuess, to wedded life without
logo. 'Fall not in love, dear girls, beware,'
says the old song. But we do not agree with
said song. 'On the contrary, we hold that it
is a gond thing to fall in love, or get in love,
if the loved object be worthy. No, fall in
love as soon as you like, provided it be a
suitable person. Fall in love and then Mar
ry ; but never marry unless you do •love
That is the great point. Never marry for a
home or husband. -Never degrade yourself
by becoming a party to such an alliance
Be an old maid if fortune throws not in your
way the man of your heart; and though the
witless may sneer and the jester laugh; you
still have your own reward in an apprnving
conscience and a comparatively quiet •lifo.—

The -Sabbath.
The Sabbath IC a delightful theme; the
very name cannot but come over the ear of
the Jhrietian with hallowed and balmy in
fluence; he cannot listen to the name but it
reminds him of rest—rest for the weary,
peace for the troubled, comfort for tb e
wretched. Tt reminds him of that Paradise
where it was first solemnized.' And be it re
membered that this is the only column which
Survived the •Fall; it stood erect amid the
wreck of a desOlated world, telling us what
that world once was; it remained the sole
seal of the covenant with man, sweetly inti.
mating that God had not wholly abandoned
the earth, Or, to change the figure, it went
forth as a solitary angel of mercy with • our
first parents. When , ' with lingering steps
and slow,' from Paradise they took their

mighty wrath, this bow Of the.covenant still
girdled the storm. And further yet, the
hallowed day leads us forward and upward
to heaven. The man who loves not his Sab
bath could never love °heaven ; he has noth
ing of communion and fellowship with those
blessed spirits that there surround the throne
of God - in unceasing worship and eternal
songs. And is it not strange that men who
have been called Christians should -talk of

DRESSINa FOR CHUROII.—Vory estima
ble, and wo trust very religious young wo
men, sometimes enter the house of Uod in
a costume which makes the acts of devotion
in them seem almost a burlesque. When a
brisk little creature comes into a pow with

beads and bits of tinsel, she may look ex ,
ceedingly pretty and piquant ; and if she

The Dead Sea of Mine
There are many'great things in , the• Great
Basin, or along its rim, which excite the ia•
terest of travelers. A correspondent asks us
to tell him 'whether Mono Lake is actually
the 'dead sea, it is represented to be. I am
told that . its bitter waters , are fatal to all
living'things: ion can, will lott_Please_
say something about' that sing - nine body''of
water.' We gather from'the qterort on the
Mineral Resources of the States and • Terri
tories west of the Rocky Mountains,' that
Mono Lake line ton miles southwest of the di.
viding line between California and Nebraska,
and is about 14 miles long and 9 wide. It
has never been sounded, bat a trial said to
have been made with a line of three hundred
feet failed to reach bottom. By chemical
analysis a gallon of the water weighing eight
pounds was found to contain 1,200 grains of
solid matter, consisting principally of chloride
of sodium, carbonate of soda, sulphate of soda.
si"" Thr
Borax. an , :ice. em subqtanees render
the water, so acrid and nauseating that it is
unfit for drinking or even bathing. Leather
immersed in it is soon`destroyed by its corro
sive properties, and no animal; not even a
fish or a frog, can exist in the water for more
than a short time. The only thing able to
live within or upon,,the waters of this lake is
a species of fly, which springs from larvm
bred in its bosom, after - an epheineral life
dies, and, collecting on the surface, is drifted
to the shore, where the. remains collect in
vast quantities, and fed upon by the ducks
or gathered by the Indiana, with whom they
are a staple article of food. Nestling-under
the eastern• watershed of the - sierra Mono
Lake receives considerable tributaries, and,
although destitute of any outlet, such is the
aridity of the atraoApliere that it . is always
kept
. at nearly's uniftirm level by the prbcess
- of evaporation. So dense and sluggish is
the watpr rendered through supereaturation
with various stilts and -other foreign , -matters
that only the strongest minds' raise a ripple
on its surface. As the Sierra in this , neigh.
borhood reaches its greatest altitude, the
scenery about Mono Lake is varied and
majestic, some parts of it being at the same
time marked by a most cheerless and dean ; .
_late_aspect. The bitter and fatal waters of
this lake render it literally a dead sea; 'and
its surroundings—wild, gloomy and fore.
boding—are suggestive of sterility mid deatb7

STRANGE STORY.—The London Herald
tells the following, singular and touching
story.
Not many years since certain miners, work
ing far underground, Caine upon the body of
a poor fellow who had perished in the suffo
cating pit some fortysix years before.—
Some chemical agent to which the body had
been subjected—an agent prepared' in the
laboratory of nature—bad effectually, arrest
ed the progress of decay. They brought' it
up to the surface, and, for a while, till it
crumbled through exposure. to the atroos
r here, it lay there the image of a fine, sturdy
young man. No convulsion had passed over
the face in death; the features wore tranquil;
the hair was black as Jet. No ,one recog
nized the face; a generation had grown since
the day on which the miner went down his'
shaft for.the last time. But a tottering old
woman, who bad hurried from her cottage on
hearing the news, cane up, and ahe knew,
again th'e fads which, throu gh" all thOsolong
years, she had • not" quite forgotten The'
poor minor was to have been her husband on
the day after that which he. died.„ They
were rough people, of . course, who were
looking on; a liberal education and. refined
feelings aro nut deemed esseotial to the man
whose work is to get up coals or even'tic;'
but there were no dry "eyes 'when the grey.
headed old pilgrim oast herself .upon the
youthful corpse and poured into its deaf ear
many words of endearment unused for forty
six years. It was a touching contrast; the
one so old, the other so young. They had
bath been young those long years, but time
had gone on with the living and stood still
with the dead.
